IDK, is it really that much more powerful than the P40, which is already fairly cheap?

- 7speter 3y agoWell, the p40 has 24gb VRAM, which makes it the perfect hobbyist card for a llm, assuming you can keep it cool.
- mk_stjames 3y agoThe P100 has amazing double precision (FP64) flops (due to a 1:2 FP ratio that got nixed on all other cards) and a higher memory bandwidth which made it a really standout GPU for scientific computing applications. Computational Fluid Dynamics, etc. The P40 was aimed at the image and video cloud processing market I think, and thus the GDDR ram instead of HBM, so it got more VRAM but at much less bandwidth.
